Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when
emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during
complex (multi-step) emulation. Silently ignoring the exit request can
result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to
userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed.
See commit
0dc902267cb3 ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if
emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with
respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows.
